A tilt steering wheel mechanism for an agricultural tractor or like implement includes a steering shaft support and a tilt coupling mounted on the shaft support for relative pivotal movement. A rotatable steering shaft, and associated steering wheel, are joined to the tilt coupling for pivotal movement therewith, with a collar-like tilt latch fitted to the tilt coupling for maintaining the steering wheel in any of a plurality of selected angular dispositions. Convenient and efficient operation of the tilt mechanism is facilitated by the provision of a generally U-shaped latch release which is positioned in close proximity to the steering wheel so as to facilitate single-handed grasping of the steering wheel and operation of the latch release. The latch release includes a pair of cam surfaces which cooperate with a pair of cam followers provided on the tilt latch for selectively latching and unlatching the tilt mechanism.
